Hopsta Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Welcome Ross to TSN What is it with Ross's and Fabia vRS's !?!?!? Do you all get one for your 18th Don't think we wish to know about JT's past, afterall... we already know about the steamy window car park thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossG Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Oh no, I got a far more embarrasing car for my 18th birthday. And no, I will never tell anyone And yes, I do expect anyone who knows the answer to keep it to themselves All I will say is that it was red, had 90bhp, a floppy, floppy, floppy chassis and was an abject lesson in understeer. Oh and Skoda is a positively ice cold brand beside it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossG Posted November 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hey, thanks for all the hellos! Lagoo, I did survive the trip back - beleive it or not I managed to sleep, in an Elise, at 100mph on the autoroute Oh but the only thing... and I feel this should stand as a warning to everyone here... Do not give Smudge the only map in a group of cars when he is the lead car (in a faster car)! The elise crew give up the only map, smudge takes it as he is in front, and he promptly flies off at 150mph We then get lost, with no map in northern France with a ferry to catch Thank goodness the UK registered 911 we found wasn't on the way to his "country pile" All in, it added to the road trip feel - brilliant weekend. Oh yeah, the Saudi thing - went to school there from 83 - 91 and the family have been in the Middle East for just over 20 years. Think of it as a second home... Cheers all.

cerbera Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Oh, and I got my Bora TDi back today from my old colleague who was 'hiring' it from me for a few months! Had forgotten how relaxing it is to drive (especially compared the Coupe) and I definitely think I'm going to keep it as my 'mile muncher'. Have worked out that with the new company offices, going in twice a week will be nearly 14K miles p/a.....and that's before I've been out visiting clients Will save me a small fuel over the coming months.....!!

Getting married next year . Money runs through me like water, so I need her permission to buy things because it tends to be her money Biggest con yet turns out to be the use of the phrase GPS in the Road Angel blurb. I swear their was an earthquake when she realised that the Road Angel GPS was not the same as her Garmin Street pilot GPS She still dines out on that one! Thinks the Road Angel is Apparentley Scotland is small enough to learn where all the cameras are - says thats been perfectly good for her doing 30k a year for the last 3 years. Cheers, Ross.
